This significant volume contains many characters and situations that later evolved into their own novels. & quot;Mandala & quot; features technologically perfect cities that eject their sinful human occupants, a premise that can be found at the root of Bear's later novel, STRENGTH OF STONES. In & quot;Hardfought & quot;, Bear brilliantly handles the classic science fiction dilemma of human communication with aliens. Other stories include & quot;The Wind From a Burning Woman & quot; in which a woman holds the world hostage by controlling a giant asteroid; & quot;Scattershot & quot;, in which the inhabitants of many universes meet in an undefined limbo space; and & quot;Petra & quot;, a story of a world where chaos rules, stone moves and the mind controls reality. Hailed by readers and critics alike, THE VENGING has been described as & quot;an excellent collection & quot; and its author praised as & quot;one of the freshest writers to break into the science fiction field in many a year & quot.
